Chromium Oxide Green
Waste class
Product does not exceed the RCRA extraction procedure limit of 5 PPM for total soluble
chromium as shipped from the manufacturer. This product when discarded as sold is not an
RCRA hazardous waste. However, under RCRA, it is the responsibility of the product user to
determine at the time of disposal, whether a material containing the product or derived from
the product should be classified as a hazardous waste. (40CFR261.20-24). Chemical
processing of this product (particularly at elevated temperatures) can cause chemical
reactions which produce substances which will exceed the RCRA limits. Wastes from this
product should be tested to determine the proper waste classification. Incineration is not
recommended as some trivalent chromium may convert to the hexavalent form.
